When to Choose a Bridal Jumpsuit

A bridal jumpsuit is an adventurous choice. As a bride-to-be, you
probably envisioned that you would be searching for the perfect dress, not the
perfect jumpsuit. But there are so many stylish reasons why a bridal jumpsuit
is a great choice. If you are daring with your fashion in real life – there’s
no reason to hold back on your big day. This will probably be the outfit
that you splurge on the most which is why you should stay true to your style.

Choose a bridal jumpsuit if you’re the type of bride that likes to push
the envelope when it comes to style or if you would simply be more comfortable
in pants. A bridal jumpsuit is also a unique option if you’re looking for a
‘second dress’ look that is unexpected.

Different Styles of Jumpsuits

You may think that bridal jumpsuits are a simple silhouette. But there
is definitely more than one look that they can convey. Designers play with pant
fit, fabric and bodice styles to create jumpsuits to suit different bridal
styles.

Bohemian Bridal Jumpsuit

If you’re a carefree bohemian bride, look for a jumpsuit that is
equally as breezy as you are. Choose jumpsuits with a wide pant fit, crochet
details or bell sleeves.

Flowing fabric such as silk, charmeuse or chiffon are less rigid and feel lighter. A belt or beading detail
around the waist or neckline will add fancy to balance a casual vibe and will
help your jumpsuit look a bit more bridal.

Traditional Bridal Jumpsuit

A jumpsuit definitely veers from the traditional white gown, but if you
are looking for something that pays homage to tradition keep it classic in
other ways. French lace fabric, illusion netting, and delicate beading are all
synonymous with wedding dresses and will add an air of bridal beauty to your
jumpsuit.

If you are wearing a jumpsuit as your reception outfit, find a dominant
design element in your wedding dress – the pattern of the lace, motif designs
or neckline – and mimic it in your jumpsuit. This will tie your two looks
together nicely.

ModernBridal Jumpsuit

Fashion-forward brides with a modern or minimalist style are spoiled
for choice with stylish bridal jumpsuits. Choose designs that feature clean
lines; perfectly tailored wide-leg pants are a great example.

What to Consider When Choosing a Jumpsuit

Fit

A jumpsuit may sound like an easier option than a wedding dress, but
getting the fit right can actually be a little more complicated. This is
because there are more measurements to take into account.

There is the inseam of the pants; the adjoining bodice to the top of
the inside leg; waist measurements and the length of the pant. All of these
fitted pieces are connected, so in this way, a jumpsuit is less forgiving
because it doesn’t have a long skirt or plenty of draping fabric to play with.

Your jumpsuit should fit like a glove. If any of these measurements are
out, it can make the entire ensemble look ill-fitting. This is why you should
get your jumpsuit fitted and measured with the same care that you would apply
to your wedding dress.

Your Groom

There are few looks stronger than a woman wearing a bespoke pair of
pants, especially on her wedding day. But nothing looks better than a
well-dressed handsome couple. As your outfits will be somewhat similar, it is a
good idea to consider your groom’s ensemble and make sure that your looks don’t
clash or feel out of sync.

For example, your groom may want to look extra dapper and don the
sharpest suit he can. Ideally, you will want to match his level of formality
and ensure that your jumpsuit isn’t too casual for his look.

It’s also a nice idea to add a little femininity to your jumpsuit by
looking for frilly or flowing elements such as an off the shoulder neckline to
keep your look less rigid or practical and more beautifully bridal.

How to Dress Up A Jumpsuit

If you’re concerned about not looking formal enough when wearing a
jumpsuit, don’t stress. There are ways that you can dress up a jumpsuit to help
add grandeur to your look.

Get the best of both worlds by wearing a detachable train or skirt with
your jumpsuit. This works particularly well for making a walk down the aisle
more dramatic as you’ll be able to see the pant from the front with a long
trailing skirt flowing from the sides and back.

If you want to keep your look modern but like the idea of a little
theatre as you walk down the aisle, consider wearing a flowing cape with your
jumpsuit. A cape that flows from your shoulders and trails behind adds a
beautiful, ethereal feel. Keep in mind that this draws attention to your
shoulders and when paired with a jumpsuit can make the overall feel of your
ensemble quite strong. To tone this down, choose a cape made of soft tulle or
organza to add lightness to your look.

Choosing a jumpsuit with full pant legs that almost look like a skirt
is also a great way to get the comfort and feel of a jumpsuit with the elegance
of a dress. Take it to the next level by accessorizing with a beautiful
diamanté belt to draw the eye toward your waist and bring the whole look together.

Wrapping Up…

As more women look for non-traditional looks and ways to express their
personality and true style on their wedding day, bridal jumpsuits continue to
become popular. If wearing a ballgown wedding dress has never interested you,
then a bridal jumpsuit might be your perfect wedding attire.
